After Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton, Erik ten Hag explained why he is chuffed to have to have Jonny Evans as part of his Manchester United squad this season.
The experienced centre-back was impressive in helping United register a clean sheet and get back to winning ways at Old Trafford in the lunchtime kick-off, receiving a standing ovation on his way off the pitch, when he was replaced by Willy Kambwala in the 89th minute.
Academy graduate Evans, in his second spell at the club having rejoined in the summer after eight years away, has been a reliable figure for Ten Hag when called upon this term and has now made 24 appearances in total.
